National Women's Council of Ireland - Gender Mainstreaming Strategy for the Health Service Executive
The NWCI is seeking to contract an experienced and highly skilled researcher for this project.

The tender is for the production of a Gender Mainstreaming Strategy for the Health Service Executive. Over the past number of months the NWCI has been discussing with the HSE, the need to ensure a strong gender dimension in Irish health policy, planning and service delivery in line with national and international objectives and commitments. To this end the HSE has agreed to work with us on developing a strategy to make these objectives realizable and turning commitments into action.

In the work we have done on Women's Health to date, the National Women's Council has clearly identified that recognising gender as a social determinant of health is a key factor in the development and delivery of effective health services to women, men and children. Through our research, policy work, outreach and consultation with groups throughout Ireland, we have identified a wide range of issues, needs and challenges which must be addressed.
